Walmart Draws Criticism for its New Dress Code

Marketplace APM
Walmart is introducing a new dress code for its employees, but they’re not calling it a uniform. And that’s got some Walmart employees riled up. The retailer says customers are having a hard time figuring out who works at the store, so it’s put in place a dress code. Employees have to wear black or khaki pants and a blue or white collared shirt. “Walmart employees are among the lowest paid in the entire country and right now,” Judith Conti of the National Employment Law Project, says. “And Walmart is asking them to buy new clothes to wear at work.”
